I provided that proof in the prior post... in spite of the obviousness of it.
"It is just a FACT that manufacturing processes, once reduced to practice, CAN be improved over time."
That leaves you claiming the opposite... and needing to prove it... while showing how KBLB are going to train their worms to control the things you can control with a manufacturing process.
I'd not bet too much... on proving manufacturing processes are less uniform than natural processes, or that they are less able to have improvements engineered into them than natural processes... or that KBLB will have much success getting silk worms to learn to improve or better regulate their process.
The process engineers and chemists... have the benefit of access to everything the spiders and worms can teach them... without having the limit of being bound to using only what they use.
The artificial processes WILL happen... they will succeed... and really ALL we're discussing, is the timing factor... in HOW LONG it will take, now that the harder parts have all been figured out.
There are people already working on engineering new fibers with properties superior to the natural fibers... using the METHODS and CONCEPTS spiders use, without necessarily requiring the same chemicals as inputs or the same process that spiders use.
The obstacles that exist to making them... aren't in the ability of the scientists to do the work in design of the chemistry... rather than in the integration of chemistry with an enabling production process.
Spinning fibers... isn't simple... even though its done every day with polymers made of things other than self assembling and repeating protein units.
Spinning fibers the way spiders do... is harder and more complex than just extruding a polymer melt... but it is the complexity of the PROCESS that occurs, and not the complexity of the CHEMISTRY that is a process limit.
